F5 Bar dedicated to Charkin is open and waiting for you:
http://www.threeaonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=3061.0

AK Charkin goes up for pre-order on October 1st, 9:00AM HK time at www.bambalandstore.com

We had them in production for some time and wanted to offer only pre-made figures via limited 3AA sale, to ship it to you before Halloween. However because of demand, we decided to offer significantly more. Limited pre-made batch will be for 3AA members; pre-orders for everyone.

Price: 100USD


AK Charkin story:

When the Robots start their pre-invasion they are savvy to any potential opposition and do some pre hits on these targets etc. Zombkins lovely turgid patch got torched by the Finger Gang and the general consensus was Zombkin was fucked and posed no threat. But from the fetid ashes arose Charkin to execute his revenge on the invading robots....

To start your creative juices flowing for F5 sketches, here is nice video by Daniel Tan , called "Waiting for Charkin"

Latest post from Ashley's personal blog:
Ashorama's


Messing around with the Iphone panorama stuff, thought I would share, old and newer stuff!

AK Charkin goes up for sale at Bambalandstore in less than 15 minutes from now.

Latest from the blog about AK Charkin

Ol pre order Charkin will have a different color decal, box etc. The pre order will start soon after the Pre made sale is over, how long it will go for isnt known, as we dont want too many as the shipping date will slip, those lil charkin pants and bastards to make !

Charkin pre made 3AA ONLY (limited to one per person) is up at www.bambalandstore.com


Charkin pre-made is gone, and pre-orders (shipping on December) will be up for limited time at Bambalandstore.com

Here is Ashley saying thank you at ThreeA blog:

"Charkin says thanks which is weird as he is a charred pumpkin ! Hope he makes your Halloween more fun!
Thanks from me, as im always excited and amazed at the awesome support I get for my ideas!
ash"


About refunds and Charkin coming to an end:

"Just a heads up, the title for pre order Charkin for some says premade, which isnt right, the text for it still says shipping in december which is correct, always read the text, the titles gets mixed up when similar products are offered. If you want a refund just contact CS if you ordered a Charkin pre order with the wrong title only!

The Charkin pre order is coming close to ending soon as well, just a heads up, we are close to maximum !"

What's the difference between pre-order and pre-made?
1) pre-made ones shipping this month; pre-orders estimated shipping time - December 2012
2) different box and accents on the decal

About the mixup with titles at the store:
When AK Charkin pre-made where gone from the store, they were exchanged with pre-orders, but the title remained: "AK Charkin pre-made" for few minutes, even though product description was different and stated that shipping starts in December 2012. If you got confused and bought within that time-frame (and your Charkin title in Bambalandstore product history says: premade) and willing to get a refund, please contact cs@threeaonline.com. It might take some time to answer, as October 1st is a National Holiday in China.

And Charkin is gone from the store...


^Mysterious image, which popped up later at the blog. I wonder if it can be new AK Finger Gang character and we might see it in upcoming 1/12th AK Finger Gang sale?

We had plenty of sketches and art at the bar, love the support from all the awesome and talented Legionnaires shown for AK Charkin !

Previous teasers of TKYO band:

ThreeA collection by 林小馬 and here is his story about it: "i collect threeA fig since 2011/11, today almost one year,this is all my threeA fig"

What do you guys think, would you be up for group photos of your collections and telling a little bit about it and how it all started? I personally always love seeing ThreeA collections and hearing how it started, always adds more interest. If you are willing to participate and make photos, you can share them on the forum, 3A page on Facebook, or send them directly to gimbat at threeaonline.com


With NYCC almost upon us , Gregory (who is in charge of ThreeA participating in conventions) mentioned that WWR Mighty EMGY Square and EMGY t-shirt ordering details, will be finalized and revealed this week.

Peaceday Dropcloth 2.0 teaser surfaced at the blog.

People keep asking me about WWRp Fantome de Plume sales date and time. I can't comment about it, as it's Ashley Wood's personal call and he mentioned on the blog that he will put it online during NYCC dates (11-14) and said that he will put it up, once info will be finalized. Here is the blog post I am talking about: http://www.threeaonline.com/blog/?p=3627
So, I would be watching www.threeaonline.com/blog for more details, as I'll be working at the booth and can't be online 24x7, like I usually am.

T-shirt and WWR Supplement books are available during the day, EMGY Mighty Square friday sale starts on 1:00PM (same time for Saturday) and we will be delighted to see you! Squares and t-shirts are limited to one per person. We have various posters at the booth as well, come on by and get one for free.

I'll upload a lot pics tomorrow (right after EMGY Square sale), working on getting more decent internet connection to upload bigger and nice quality photos.

See ya all at NYCC, booth #3105 in 8 hours from now.

13.10

WWRp Barguest and Fantome de Plume are currently up for sale at Bambalandstore. I just love new packaging:


Today's surprise (which goes up and down at Bambalandstore is): AP Interheavy


If you are paying close attention, we saw them earlier on top of WWR EMGY Mighty Square


Ashley about new WWR Peaceday Dropcloth
PD DROPPY 1.5 is fun, funny story too, hope you guys will dig it. He comes with a pistol a shotgun and hatchet's, becuase they are a peace keeping force, thats way !

Speaking about new Dropcloth in general:
there will be more, its too much of a fun figure, really poses well, looks dynamic and goofy.

On World War Robot Universe and story being open-ended:
well its open ended with a solid ending, which Ill drop before the film opens. I want to have a last say in my version of the world.
"all my films are rocketing along, when I say mine as in inception not final outing etc.
But yea, i have a ending, I want to see out there just for my own ends."

WWR Harold info and customization challenge:
"Harold is next month, my fav is the Snow Harold, I love the idea of robots in the snow, dunno why.. guess im a romantic!"
"Harold is a tank, just a robot tank.
You guys are epic for modding, im sure you can take the snow shovel and run with it !
the tracks are great on Harold, really solid!"
some tweaking like tightening the tracks would be needed, as its powered by push along at the mo, its needs more slack.
if it can be done, the legion will do it. A prize for the first to do so !

Talking about Adventure Kartel Universe and bringing it to the screen:
"working on a proof of concept for AK, animated etc. just costly and time consuming etc. I so want to do it, I want to direct it!"

Ashley speaking about Reds (Martian Soldiers) and what kind of gear, they are wearing:
well ya see, large areas are covered on mars, the radiation needs to be shielded from the humes and these coverings add to a artificial environment etc
The REDS have different gear for each type of atmosphere, they are more advanced than Earth in tech and dont like leaving shit to chance

There is a quick F5 Bar dedicated to WWRp Barguest and Fantome de Plume, but since I'm working at NYCC, I'm not exactly fully online to do all the sketch gallery stuff, but I'll do it later (Monday most likely).

Here are couple of sketches from the bar:


One of the most frequent questions, which was asked this year at NYCC , was certainly: Can I please buy this figure of your display?

We had on the display a lot of figures, highlighting moments of ThreeA 4,5 years long history...Our EMGY themed displays were an absolute eye-catcher! Here is the better quality photos of all displays, to show what we had on them. I decided it will be great to share it with the rest of the world and all the amazing Legionnaires, which couldn't go to NYCC.

One last thing: we will continue selling WWR Mighty Emgy Square, WWR Supplement and EMGY t-shirts tomorrow, so if you have the opportunity definitely stop by our booth #3105 from the early morning and we will be happy to see you!


13.11

WWRp Barguest & Fantome de Plumes and AP Interheavy are gone from the store, thank you for your support!

Btw, here are EMGY Mighty Square name variations: Lena, Micah, Eder, Jordan and Dolly!

16.10

Sadly all the good things are quickly coming to an end…Tomorrow is our last day at NYCC.

And here is a quick update of what we will have for NYCC visitors on Sunday at our booth #3105: a few WWR Mighty Emgy Squares and handful of EMGY t-shirts with super heavy and EMGY colorway styled container (ran out of XXL size already).

So far: we sold out all WWR Supplement books; gave away all our posters (we had a lot of them and they were free); met insane amount of absolutely superb people! Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by and showed their support and of course to NYC for the hospitality!

Here is kitty on the display (brought by Dolly), to put nice point to NYCC madness and toy packing. Btw, all toys on displays were brought by Dolly, Gregory and Cody. It was not only lots of heavy lifting and careful packing, but a lot of risk (especially with the kitty) to bring them and yet they still did it. Huge THANK YOU goes to them for making our booth extra special and awesome!


As I mentioned in ThreeA x MGS REX breakdown here on the blog, we are starting to ship REX this month and we start with retail orders first. We are starting distributing orders to Hong Kong, Australia, Thai, Philippines and Korea based retailers. In comparison with retail version, Bambalandstore one has slightly different packaging, miniature Snake pilot and poster which is 73,2 x 71,2cm big (approximately 29" x 28") and taking a little bit more time to manufacture.

Can't wait for first photo and REX reviews!

Here are first photos by REX, posted by watt from Toysdaily.com (direct link)


Railgun size and light-up video:


With TKYO going on sale in less than 20 hours from now, it's time to open up F5 bar!

Sale starts on October 17th, 9:00AM HK time, so long wait is finally over and TKYO go on tour and will be at our bar live really soon and this concert will be really epic, especially for all TK fans!

So, there will be TKYO , Yellow Hornets and INTERYO on sale.

Prices
TKYO - 320USD
Yellow Hornets - 320USD
TKYO and Yellow Hornets in special slip for both boxes - 600USD
3AA only: TKYO, Yellow Hornets and INTERYO - 900USD

Pics, which were shown so far:

INTERYO


Yellow Hornets in 1/6th scale:


New INTERYO teaser:


Popbot TKYO sale starts in few minutes from now at Bambalandstore.com

TKYO are going up at www.bambalandstore.com , so the concert starts now! Each figure comes with a sword and microphone.

Since people keep on asking: there will be no Johan or other surprises released today, but there are lots of awesome TKYO , who want to go, to good homes! I'm sorry, if you were really looking forward to Johan today and misread the blog post Ash made and Johan coverage, but TKYO and Johan deserve a special night! As a bartender in F5 bar, I'm so used to people hoping for surprises each time (and frankly we are the ones to blame, as we have surprises pretty often), so I noticed a bit late that there is a misconception and general belief (based on Johan add from 2011 , see the VOX link here) that he is coming to the store. I'm sorry for your extra F5ing and tired fingers. On the positive note - it means that Johan will drop at some point in future and there were no additional temptation at Bambalandstore today and your wallet can rest for Harold (if you are into WWR) and for other stuff which is coming.

Without any doubt there is huge interest about REX, so I'll keep constantly searching for photos and adding them to this online gallery on imgur: www.imgur.com/a/STAuW#0

More ThreeA x KOJIMA MGS REX photos by watto from Toysdaily.com (direct link here)


And answer from our engineer, whether REX can stand on his own, without stilettos/back heels support:

yes, it can. but need to find a balance point, as you know, it really huge and heavy. you need to adjust both its head and back pack angle to make it standing alone with just 2 legs, no back heels support.

I noticed that there are no grenade launchers on these and previous photos, so I asked about them as well:

we have 3 SMOKE GRENADE LAUNCHERS on each side of Rex knee cap. those will need customers assembly.

Adventure Kartel Charkin pre-made orders shipped out this week, I hope he will be able to spice up your Halloween celebration.

WOW NYC!
I am cross posting this one!
Here is a link to a photo posted on the Jonathan LeVine Gallery Facebook Page The photo shows people lining up, (some of them overnight no less!) in New York for the 1PM print releases for the Machine Sabbath and Exhale exhibitions. The support that Ash and Jeremy have received since opening at the gallery has been phenomenal, and this image just goes to show, how very welcome NYC has made everyone feel - thank you, thank you all.

Here is the photo, if you have problem accessing Facebook:


As I mentioned previously Ashley Wood art show at LeVine Gallery been blogged here: http://worldof7174.blogspot.com.au/

Many asked, so I did quick photo of extremely stylish 12" x 12" MACHINE SABBATH catalog, published by ThreeA publishing and cards, all were available at the show. Please keep in mind that my quick photos don't do it any justice.


Btw, am I the only crazy person who is constantly F5ing Lore movie page on IMDB and hoping for updates? Or some of you are doing it as well?

Link to another review of ThreeA x KOJIMA MGS REX retail version posted by gary at HKfigureclub discussion board. gary even made a quick video review, which is unfortunately not as long, as I hoped. We certainly need more REX on videos and photos! And if you ordered Bambalandstore version, we plan to start shipping it in November, I'll be bring you more news soon once November starts.

Latest from Ashley's blog:
THANKS NYC
Wow, I could not have imagined what a fun exhilarating time I would have. Such a great response to the Levine show, I really felt for the first time in my life I'm doing OK, maybe I can make this art thing work.. Naturally that wore off quick and I'm already planning my next attempt to do some good work.
Of course these types of moments are not just a result of me making some pictures and letting the universe make it happen, I'm lucky enough to have a epic support system, from amazing, fun,interesting and inspiring supporters, to a gallery that was nothing but and backed up my work without any interjecting what could make a more popular and more commercial show!
A big shout to Scott Eder for having three great cats and letting me defile his bathroom!
Thanks to all who came and showed much love for me and Jeremy it was an honor.
But the biggest thanks goes to PAULA, without her support, wisdom and being my muse, none of this would have ever happened, not even close.
I hope I never wake up!

As you can see REX is incredibly complex and massive beast. First MGS REX retail batch shipped out and November should see more rolling out. I'll keep you updated, once I get the dates from our Hatchery and HK office.

Shipping update from ThreeA blog:
[WWRp Caesar release will ship in mid-November. It consists out of twelve different Caesars (666th Clint E, Bromwhich Pru Support, Surgeon G, Deep Comm, Jungler DBG, Dutch Merc, EMGY NYC TRG, Gravedigger, JEA GSC, AP-PEL, Caesar GID LTD and Toga White DIY LTD), 3AA 2pack (R.I.P. 001 and R.I.P. 002) and of course little Square Bomb MK1.5a (exclusive to Caesar Fat Toga 10pack). We in ThreeA always prefer to give people great choice , especially with more affordable 1/12th scale releases.

3A Publishing "Machine Sabbath" catalog shipped out this week to Bambalandstore customers.

As for LUX3A Metal Gear Solid REX retail and Bambalandstore exclusive version, everyone is working super hard to fulfill our plans and ship more batches and Bambalandstore version by end of this month. Again, huge thank you to REX customers & fans for your support, trust and patience! I hope that you will love REX and I am confident that the wait will be worth it!

I copied new and most essential stuff, since some things were covered already in my column, but here is direct link to that update.

I always told that I love when people gather specific WWR bots and build entire squads. In the end it's war bots and they are especially powerful in groups. Here are WWR EMGY themed and other matching color ThreeA figs by Amon Lin

New figures in November!

November will see the Action Portable Finger Gang set hit Bamba. Peace Day Dropcloth 2.0 will patrol Bamba in November, and dont forget Johan the pink Ankou! If all goes well we will have a very cool new line debut this month!
